[Rockhounds] Decades-Old Doorstop Turns Out To Be 3.5 Kg Chunk of Amber

[Tim Fisher]

I went on a crystal fee dig at a mine in Nevada. About all I found was a
cluster of 3 large amethyst crystals. The mine owner, seeing what I
unearthed, said it would make a really nice doorstop. Sow now it's on my
display shelf because I don't have any doors that need to be stopped 😃
